At first the - English advanced Posts were driven in on all points, and the French - Pushed owns far as Arribes, but the main English , body soon formed in line and compelled the enemy to make a precipitate retreat. " The English covered themselves with glory, and 44 Pliyed durink the whole aaion, a regularity of I nrwements, intrepidity, and valour, of which my -°l6 cers, wico. also shared in the action, speak' in, terms of -the highest admiration and praise. Al. I though this force hardly amounted to one fourth of the French corps which formed the attack, the lat ter Was completely routed, with considerable loss." VALENCIA, MARCH 2.—The last accounts from , Catalonia - relate to a very sanguinary anion, in w hich our troops manifested all the valour and in- - , trepid e __ 1 y.of their brave Chief, General O'Dotisieee'. The eat: try were entiench:cl in Vich, and received 7 1) - , our army with a brisk fire of artillery: Our troops advanced with great gallantry and the a&ion became destruaive and obstinate. We remained in our former positions, and our loss has been of some considera tion ; but that of the enemy far from being inferior, we believe greatly exceeds it, as both our infantry and cavalry - advanced boldly to the very mouths of the cannon. General o'Doti NELL, pur•tling the new tactics which ought to be employed against the French, was preparing for a second anion, to dislodge them and deprive them of all hope, not only of mak ing any progress, but.even of obtaining any rest.

I am di -, f.etetl to acquaint you, ror the informa tion of the Gentlemen -of Hull,' interested in the tiMber trade, that an abundant supply or timber is essential to the manufaftring and trthing interests of Great Britain ; and that it does not appear that an adequate supply of that article could have-been secured, if all importations horn the Baltic had been suddenly interrupted. " I ant, however, to observe, 'hat the Lords of the Council have not recommend.. d the graniig of any Licenses for such importations in foreign vessels, from a'iy Ports where British vessels ate permitted to enter; a id that the increase of foreign vessels is the unavoidAble cia - isequonce (;f't he. extension of the . was., and the ettc.lusioa of British ships fioni the Ports of the Continent.

W. Moxon, Esq. Hull," On Easter Monday, according to annual customi a grand hunt took place with his Majesty's hr ? unds ; it was the greatest that has been known, for many years. About nine o'clock, the Duke of GoaDON, who is on a visit at Swialey, and a numerous as semblage of spetiators, began to assemble- on Tower hill. The Marquis CORNWALLIS, the Master of his Majesty's stag-bounds, gave a rublic breakfast upon the oaasion, to a great number of nobility - , and persOns of distinaion,- at Swinley Lodge. The morning being -remarkably tine, it was a truly charming sight to view the company corning in all diredions to the top of Tower-hill, in coaches and four, landaus, sociables;chariots, gigs, &c. &c. as Well as pedestrians. About eleven o'clock Marquis Cornwallis arrived at the top of Tower-hill, from SwlQley Lodge, where upwards of 500 spectators were in waiting to see the sport of the bunt. Immediately after the ar-' rival of the Noble Marquis, a fine young deer was turned out of a cart, for the day's diVersion, which had never been hunted before. It was taken from Richmond Park. At first setting off he ran with great swiftness towards Bagshot Park, taking to the right across the forest, to Caesar's Camp. After an excellent hunt, and about an hour's bard running, the_ deer was taken at Hanakin's Lodge, being com pletely exhausted, on account of the beat of the day. Several of the sportsmen were thrown from their horses, and lost thorn for some time in the forest. This morning the famous Hendon Deer will be turned out, inn Farnham Common. Some letters of the 16th ult. have been received in town, . brought by a vessel arrived off Falmouth, from Norfolk (Virginia). They inform us, that Mr. MAcon's Bill remained in the same unsettled state as when the last advices came away, and that the Non-intercourse Al would be suspended until the arrival from England of the John Adams. The December and January packets had arrived; and the Americans had been made acquainted with the re ception in England of the intelligence respeaing the dismissal of Mr. hcxsom from all further inter course with the American Government. They ex press much wonder and astonishment that no vio lent measures bad in consequence been resorted to by the British Government, and contemplate a happy termination of all existing differences.

On going to the door, the knocker continued to play, although no person was near it ; at the vine time the clock in the house began to strike. The person suspeding some one was playing biro a trick; imthediately had the knocker taken off the door, beat about with a hammer, and laid on a' table, when it began to perform its operations, in con junction •whh the clock, and continued without in termission fur the space of an hour. On the Wed 'ne,d:ty ti)llowirtg, at the same hour, they were agaiti alarrned by the same unusual - noise, without being 'enabled in any measure to account for its cause.-- .Bbitie old women in the neighbourhood were so alarmed as to mention the necessity of read ing prayers to avert- the judgment that seemed to threateo them, of to prevent a recurrence of the same, which they fully expected yesterday, at the usual hour. A GilosT..—LaSt week, while two men were employed in the interior of a family vault, about seven miles from teed;:, a meagre figure, black from lied to foot-, glided into the sepulchral Mansion; the Man whose eye first caught the . sPeare• became instantly petrifi - ed with horror, his speech forsook hint, and it Was only by a vigorous effort that he Could jog the 'elbow of his fellow, and point to the object of alarm., Like the shock from the , eledrie spark the terror was communicated by the touch ; but the symptoms were net so slrong in the second as hi the first subjeel ; t, icing courage, he addressed the in a filtering accent, and said, " In the name of G• ,, !, what is your et rand to this world ?"--- "- I I.:ye no errand ; I was goieg past, and I thought.l would just look in." These grate ful sounds instantly dicpeiled the illusion, .and the workmen recoo;zed in them the Well-known voice of a neighbeucing chimney-sweeper. Mrs. BISHOP, whose .health seems to be very de licate arid pre( arious, was last night unable to per form Constantia, in The Cabinet, at the Lyceum 'reeatre, ~ind Miss KELLY; after a suitable apology had beco'rnade for the beca,iou, went through the charader with much ability, and was very favour ably received ley the audience.

The service of the day was Blow's mach-admired one in A. - The Anthem was the whole of the 1.3e1 Psalm, set by Dr. Cook, which gave a' fine opportunity for Mr. Bardetuan to display his compass of voice, taste, and science; Mr. Goss, and one of the young Gentlemen of the Choir, also evinced much ability. Mr. Cook, the son of the late Do6to-, who is or ganist at the Cat hedral,- presided at the organ. After the service, the Gentlelneo adjourned to the King's Arms Tavern,. New Palace-yard, and partook ot a 'sumptuous dineer, and sang some of Dr. Cook't., glees. Sir William Parsons presided. Yesterday morning Win, Affiddos, for a burglary in the house-of Wst.

DUNCAN, War render-square, Wapping, were executed at the Debtors'-door, Newgate, in pursuance ~ o f their sentence. The unfortunate men came upon .the scaffold a few minutes after eight o'clock, and - after spending a short time in devotion, attended, by Dr FORD, the Ordinary, they were launched into eternity.. An immense concourse of spectators were present on the occasion, The culprits were young men, the eldest only thirty-four,. and ego dueled themselves ih a manner -becoming their unhappy situation.

It is impossible for Britons, natites of the favour ed land of liberty, to- contethplate; ithout the highest degree of sympathy, - a gallant people strugging to preserve their independence : it cannot, therefore, appear surprising, that the lives and pot traits of HOFFER, and the two Denutirs from those gallant Mountaineers it'serted in the RnF. , ,SITORY OF ARTS, &c. should have excited such extra ordinary intere,t.

SIR FRriNcrlS B_,URDEI !• . .• : ' , '. l • Sir W. MANSELL published fi long lettor 47,i t t Cambrian Journal, deprecating. the coosequeOeft, I such a PuhlicM • eet og at Carmarthen, and coqli. the Mayor's arlver isement,for such 2 Meeting *it another which his Worship h a d s e nt. forth same time, d:-flouncing mall dogs, tvhich were bee come very prevalent. The Baronet, with - some hu mour, ascribes both prodo6tions to the same cause, . - viz. that of a general madness raging at this time through 'that Unfortunate Borough. The following are a few excraas from this letter : Can any reasonable tirAn assert that the case of the Baronet was mistaken, and that he has been harshly used ; in my opinion there existed but one mistake, " the place of his confinement ought to have been Bedlam, and pot the Tower."--I am now going to'address myself to the inhabitants, Rod ask; what caused the effusion of blow but the fra(iured Word of . Sir Francis ? Did he not give the Serjeatit. at Arms his promise to attend him the following' day, who considered he-was receiving the word of a" MeMber of the lithis'e of Commons, a sacred tie, and that that was his subinission, inasmuch so as he, might have expected the-Baronet's meeting him at the Tower, his better way of going there. Cod= science, which makes cowards, diteded another course, to Wade there through the blood of-his coon= try Men. To attain this obje&, delay was his expel dient, assassinating the delicacy of the St:6cent! at - Arms. , What have since been the observations of the following Gentlemen, Members of the House of Commons, who voted in the minority for Sir Francis's commit mentnot dissenting from thd power of the`House, and agreeing in :his deserving the. House's censure ; - but con , idering t:;eir notice of the offence an ill-timed policy, it was uot re= quired that the sera of the country did not calf for it; , and that a discretionary• power ought to be m er strained : they argued no more. Mr. Whitbread said in the . House of Commons, " True, he'went to Sir Francis's, not for the pur pose of strengthening his resistance to the Speaker's warrant, but to give him that adviCe Which,he did nor choose to take." H. n. W. Lytileton warmly censured the Bar .net, -n.blic. , g his connection with the brother of the notorioui rebel, A. O'Connor, an avowed traitor, and who was vvitS him in the house when compulsively ; that tot' the for feiture of his implied promise to the 5`.-rjeant at Arms, he declared he should for ever abjure him as a po litical friend. Hon. - Poosolibr concurred in the sentiments of Mr. Lyttetott, and expresscti an opinion which other Genfletnen had prev;.)usly given, that if the 'Baronet was expelled the House, the Elcaors of Westminster, in consequence of his late condw.), would not • receive him. I say, in habitants of Carmarthen, that a mob jury, Sir Francis's Peers; was hi's idea-of trial ; but n cent-minded man would never have disturbed t' , e peace of ,his King and Country ; he wii.u-d have been obedient to the denimd of his pels o, and patiently awaited the issue of a more h Awn , . hie trial. Now, what d d Mr: Sheiidan vociferate? " Who is that man that dares mo‘e for Sir Francis's commitment to the Towel'?" (a fine mai , ceuvre to panic-strike the opinions for it.) "1 am that min," answered Sir Robert Scilusbary„ our glorious country man ; a man who always votes under the direttion of his con , cietice, and which I can prove in mote instances tide one * * CricThe subsequent caudal of Sir Fracis . be jr.stitied ? If he thought himself wronged, had be not the power of appealing for redress,. a n d t r y th e legality of his.arrest - by- Hateas Corpus, and. all his legal remedies would have been as well as if he had resisted. Had he no hater defence to nuke for the restitution of his liberty than through the depen dence of a mob rescue, the confession of guilt. What Member of the House of Commons dispassionately denies its power of confining its Members for libel or miscondua? Whether drunk, or mad, r disc affeaed, it matters not. Was Mr. Fuller not taken under the Speaker's Warrant, by the Serjeant at Arms, who, receiving his' censure, made ha apo logy. Had Sir Francis Burdett come to his -senses, if not disaffeaed to the Constitution, and gave 0:e warrant obedience, making concession by explana tion of what he me,ait in the offensive parts of the . imblkation, he might have been pardoned by the House. - What is the Speaker's Warrant, but the seise of the House of Common's ? What is the war rant, but an instrument of the House of Commons ? He has enhanced his crime by_resisting the autho rity of that House, and his letter to the undaunted upright, unbiassed Speaker, is an aggravation of his offence. Will Westminster ever' forgive him NeVer. Can he ever forget' himself when quietly refKling on the blood that has been spilt by him ? Never. The manes of those departed infatuated men will he ever before his eyes. Had - his . puOli cation been overlooked, he would have _fancied it" timidity in the House,,and his temerity would hate searched for other provccations. Who can forget his speech some years ago, wile& proposing to burn the Livre Rouge, fur the beautiful foliage the Tree of Liberty, and _the -Rouge, Parisian jirshion? The intimated Baron,t's phantom is, being the . Buonaparle of England ; feeling on the 10:11-inst:',. the Nec plaribus in par motto for 'forming his. chi merical project. He fins, however, brought him- Self under the law of retaliJtion ; he has brought himself to the law of requital in kind. We have the satistadion to inform the public, that an experiment was madt on Thursday last, at the Deritend Iron Foundry, in Order to prose the utility' of a newly it“ented mode of ,hanging grindstone's, with intent to secure them from breaking while at work, and which was done with a large grindstone previously sawed In two, and afterwArds fixing the parts upon the spindle in so compact a natamr, as to perfortx from V;Ct to 300 revolutions in a minute, to the,entire smisf2(llol) of a number of C.3lt:ntlemen Mill Owners, I heir Foremen, and Grinders.
